History Awesome / TitanFall2

* A bit meta, but Respawns' business model for ''Titanfall 2'' shows remarkable growth and an admirable resistance to current industry trends. In an age of microtransactions, RNG-based loot drops, map packs and season passes, many were expecting ''Titanfall 2'' to succumb to some of these trends, especially given the original titles' own Season Pass content. However, Respawn bucked most of these features, offering one of the most customer-friendly business models out there. All of the DLC so far is either entirely cosmetic (camos, banners, logos and the only-aesthetically-different-from-normal Prime Titans) or free-of-charge game updates (maps, weapons, player executions and the Monarch Titan), and the only RNG-based system in the game is the Corporate Gift system, which gives the player camos, banners, logos, in-game currency or the Coliseum Tickets.
** Another is that Respawn ''listens'' to its' player-base. Quite a lot of the adjustments that they have made to the game post-launch have been at the request of the games' community. From pre-release concerns like the aforementioned changes to their business model compared to the first game, to addressing some of the communities' biggest complaints such as:
*** Alterations to the weapon load-out systems (giving a third weapon slot to weapon loadouts, changing the Coliseum loadout regularly)
*** How the Frontier Titan Warpaints worked (the warpaints feature a potential bonus to XP when playing Frontier Defense, but Prime Titans cannot equip warpaints. Respawn separated the warpaint from its' XP booster, assigned the boost to the shoulder-pad and allowed said pad to be equippable separately. They also extended how long said warpaints were going to be on sale for, allowing players who hadn't bought the warpaints due to this restriction more time to do so after it had been lifted.)
*** Changing the in-game credit system (by making every item available through the Advocate Gift system purchasable via. in-game credits)
*** Reverting a controversial change made to the Grapple Pilot ability after community complaints.

* Meta example: Think Gamesager was fast? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ElNQVYDsA Cash Mayo raises you one more,]] beating the Gauntlet within a flat ''12 seconds.'', shaving well over 13 seconds off Sager's time. This feat was so awesome, Respawn made a character whose feat involves doing the exact same thing, with basically the exact same strategy, in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''. SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome happens to him, but still.

* The sequence inside the IMC research facility [[spoiler:where you use the Grizzly Op device to jump back and forth between two timelines at will!]] This prompts what is possibly the coolest tooltip in all of gaming:

* Kuben Blisk. When Cooper wiped out dozens of his mercenaries, take down all his best pilots, generated billions dollars worth of corporate damage and foiling IMC's plan almost single-handedly, his response in the end is to [[spoiler:''[[WorthyOpponent give the guy his business card]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walk away]]!!'' Double points for disobeying the man who hired him in the first place, General Marder, telling him that he should've put it in his contract.]]

* Cooper's last on-foot romp near the final [[spoiler:with a [[GameBreaker Smart Pistol]], taken from BT-7274's SERE kit, in hand. The notorious weapon of the first Titanfall is ''back'', and for good this time!]]

* The scene in Ash's factory where Cooper holds his own against several waves of [[MechaMooks Spectres]] and ''two'' Reapers. Better yet, the achievement you get for pulling this off is called. "[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} I'm Not Locked In Here With You!]]"
